I have purchased
DHT11 Humidity & Temperature Sensor from the following site.
http://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=174#.U4lzu3J_uSq
They deliver only the sensor. It has Connector and Wire; however, there is no PCB.
BUT, it doesn't have cable to connect to
Arduino.
So I had to purchase the
Arduino jumper wire set, which I thought was useless. :(
http://www.eleparts.co.kr/EPXCTKGY (
the following site is Korean site. You might have to search for other site in your own country if you need to purchase one. )
Using the correct colors (
it's not a must ), connect it to
Arduino. I attached it to Connector on
RTC Shield.
Red cable: +5V Power. Top left connector, fifth pin from the top.
Black cable: GND. Bottom left connector, first pin from the top.
Green cable: A0. Top right connector, fourth pin from the top.
Download library and import it.
If you upload the dht.ino included in the zip file,
- Temperature: It was very hot today; however, it looks somewhat correct. When I get an actual thermometer I will re-check.
- Humidity: Humidity calculation is based on Temperature, thus if the temperature is not correct humidity cannot be correct.
- Although there is a decimal point, the decimal value is always 0. If we change to better sensor I assume it will give us the decimal values so I'm going to stick with the float. Accuracy of sensor is not the point in this posting so I'm going to move on.
In dht.ino change #define DHT11_PIN 4 to #define DHT11_PIN A0, and
chk = DHT.read11(DHT11_PIN); to int chk = DHT.read11(DHT11_PIN);.
Protocol
I have modified Get Data Block "GETn".
D = <time stamp> + <Temperature> + <Humidity>
We are going to send time stamp, temperature, and humidity all at the same time.
Arduino Code
Following is excerpts from the code. The entire code can be found in the link at the very bottom. I modified
WSAdam5.ino to create the following code.

// It takes forever to debug if you set it to 10 minutes.
// Arduino default is 16 bit int. If you don't do (uint32_t)

This code shows how to upload data using
Web Socket, and how to create
Web DB using the uploaded data. Codes below are only part of the code. If you want to see the entire code look at the link at the very bottom.
This code is modified from
WSAdam6_5.html.
Clicking [
